Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Drops season-low point total in win
Luguentz Dort scored just two points (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added five rebounds, two assists and a block over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 109-99 win over the Trail Blazers.While Dort failed to convert a field goal, the Oklahoma City Thunder did not need him to as they received offensive explosions from Jalen Williams (30) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (28) as well as three double-digit scoring performances off the bench, which was enough to win. Dort will continue to be a key piece of the Thunder's starting lineup moving forward.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Scores 11 points Wednesday
Luguentz Dort ended with 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 win over the Pelicans.Dort was the only other starter who scored in double digits for the Oklahoma City Thunder outside of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, and he made his presence felt in peripheral categories as well. Dort plays a secondary role on offense behind the aforementioned star duo, but he remains productive and has scored in double digits in all but one of his last five outings.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Efficient 19-point game in victory
Luguentz Dort amassed 19 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 35 minutes in Monday's 134-128 win over the Clippers.The forward recorded his second-highest mark in points on the season while finishing as the Oklahoma City Thunder's third-leading scorer behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (45) and Jalen Williams (28). Dort has been an inconsistent scorer thus far, though he has shot 47.3 percent from the field and an extremely efficient 45.6 percent from beyond the arc. The 25-year-old will likely be featured much more heavily in the Thunder's offensive scheme with Chet Holmgren (hip) sidelined indefinitely.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Luguentz Dort notched 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 loss to Golden State.Dort has alternated double-digit and single-digit scoring figures in his last six appearances, but he could be in line for a bigger role on offense in the coming weeks due to the absence of Chet Holmgren (hip). Dort has scored at least 16 points four times already this season, and he could slide to the role of being the No. 3 scoring option for the Oklahoma City Thunder behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Fills stat sheet Wednesday
Luguentz Dort racked up 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 loss to the Nuggets.Dort was efficient in his secondary scoring role and also made his presence felt with multiple actions on both ends of the court, registering at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Dort should continue to play a minor role in the offensive scheme due to the abundance of scoring alternatives in the OKC lineup, but he'll remain valuable in fantasy, particularly in category-based leagues, due to his ability to fill the stat sheet in any given game.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Fails to fire in win
Luguentz Dort racked up six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 102-86 win over Orlando.Dort strung together a few encouraging performances, but that came to an end Monday. Outside of the two steals, this is what we expect to see from Dort most nights. He should continue to start, but outside of some productive outbursts, his real-life value should outweigh what he can do on the scoresheet.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Drops team-high 20 points
Luguentz Dort had 20 points (7-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 105-93 win over the Spurs.Dort led the way with a team-high 20 points, scoring at least 16 points for the second straight game. Although the offensive output is moderately intriguing, managers shouldn't be fooled by this given what we have seen in the past. While he is fine to add for streaming purposes, it's hard to see him converting this into season-long value.
